Is RAS Really The Next Step For Aquaculture?

As designers, builders and integrators of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems, Integrated Aqua Systems was especially interested in an article in the September / October 2012 issue of Hatchery International, where they interviewed Michael Timmons, U.S. recirc veteran, from his Cornell laboratory.

Topics covered in the article included:

• What is the difference between RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture Systems) and traditional aquaculture?
• What are the operational benefits of RAS?
• What are the down sides of RAS?
• Does RAS technology offer an alternative future for aquaculture?
